Wool
If you want the purest 100% wool carpet for your home, look no further. Wool is a renewable resource that is not only naturally stain resistant, but also naturally flame retardant. Wool simply looks beautiful, longer. Natural wool ages gracefully, continually renewing itself and developing a rich patina as years pass. While synthetic fibers will become scratched, scarred and dull over time, wool carpets and rugs remain vibrant to the eye and supple to the touch. Your style demands high design and high performance; natural wool delivers, year after year after year. Wool is 100% Biodegradable and a natural air purifier. As a floor covering, wool is unmatched in quality, durability, and comfort.
Jute
From the wide variety of materials available for making the floor covering’s backing we prefer natural jute. The yarn for the webbing is spun from jute grown in India and Bangladesh. This also makes vital economic contributions to these developing countries. These raw materials are harvested or extracted with relatively little energy consumption. The main energy resource for the process is the sun.
Bio-Floor Collection
Pure, all natural chemical free wool. Those suffering from chemical sensitivity as well as those that are concerned about the environment use the Bio-Floor collection extensively. No dyes, pesticides, or stain protections used by most other carpet manufacturers are used in the bio-floor collection. This collection is the only one of its kind to provide an all-natural primary backing that is a combination of hemp and cotton. We chose to use the hardy hemp fiber, due to its durability, strength, and mold and mildew resistance. The wool yarns are locked into place with a natural adhesive that is derived from the rubber tree. This adhesive is completely biodegradable and non-toxic. For the back of the carpet we use jute secondary. Jute was commonly used in the carpet industry before the introduction of the synthetic backings currently employed. Our collection has developed a very unique product that maintains all of the criteria of those looking for the purest, least toxic floor covering available. Bio-Floor can be used without reservation to provide the utmost in comfort and durability while maintaining indoor air quality and your health.
